Nice job, thank you!

Which one did you flashed?

And what's the difference between juanpirlo and shoey63 zip?
[Xperia Z3 General] juanpirulo:
nothing really. I had a few problems to make the zip so shoey63 kindly decided to upload his zip in case mine wasnt working. Now both are working so its up to you which one you want to flash. cheers

Found a bug in the .151 beta. The stock Calendar app force closes whenever I try to edit an event. Switched to Google Calendar, works great.
[Xperia Z3 General] shoey63:
Which zip did you flash? No problem editing events here.
[Xperia Z3 General] robogo1982:
I restored files (kernel and system image). Doesn't really matter, though, the ROM itself works great anyway.

Thanks [MENTION=3979060]juanpirulo[/MENTION], [MENTION=4001235]robogo1982[/MENTION]

one advice : i am on the sony concept rom now. i am looking for enhancements in the following area:

1. cellular and WiFi signal strength

2. battery life

3. audio enhancements

4. all apps to sd card feature.. (not a deal breaker for me).

is it worth upgrading to .203 rom?
[Xperia Z3 General] robogo1982:
You are welcome. :)

Since I never tried the Concept ROM, I can't give you the differences, but here's this:

1. Cell and Wi-Fi signal look just like on Lollipop, I actually get 1 bar more of cellular reception in my flat.

2. Battery life is on par with LP, maybe even slightly better thanks to Doze. From midnight to 5 o'clock this morning the phone used 0% of battery (at least that's what was indicated).

3. Audio is... good, didn't notice changes there.

4. Don't use apps on SD so I can't really help.
[Xperia Z3 General] Wnsly:
I restored the latest backup of .203

It works perfect but I have a problem with my proximity sensor. It doesn't react on motion and always shows 0 cm or NEAR.

Does someone know how to fix this?

Edit: nvm I found the problem. My screen is loosening at the top left. When I press the screen the proximity works again. So I have to glue it or replace the whole screen :(
[Xperia Z3 General] lucianofontao:
Hi friends,

The stamina icon is missing in last update...
[Xperia Z3 General] maple_mak:
Because the battery icon has been changed at Xperia X series, so that's why no stamina mode icon.
[Xperia Z3 General] francesco_mnz:
Anyone knows why I'm unable to find the backup posted last page in my twrp?

Well, I can find it but not if I click restore - it seems like I can only flash it. Should I flash it? Thanks.

Images or corrupted or not fully copied on your device. Do it again.

Also, anyone noticed camera issues? Like the app closing after, say, 20-30 seconds or so, when the app is opened but not used?
[Xperia Z3 General] chandanbs:
thats great to hear.. but what does this update bring in? new features/bugfixes/changelog appreciated.
[Xperia Z3 General] turturel:
Yep it happens on my phone as well. But if you actually use the camera it doesn't close (I recorded a couple of minutes of video to confirm).

Perhaps they introduced this as a feature, not a bug, to prevent... overheating? Someone should ask on the beta G+ group.

My fault actually. I had to compile TWRP that way in order to make a system image backup. Much easier for devs to work with.
[Xperia Z3 General] juanpirulo:
mmm i wonder if that guy try to flash the back up insted of restore. cheers
[Xperia Z3 General] xfire:
I have a question for you: with .238 (I tried almost all the various modified rom) happens to me that even two or three times a day you restart the phone.

I'm thinking of going back to .203 with whom I never had any problem.

It just happens to me?
[Xperia Z3 General] turturel:
I am using "pure" (unmodified) .238 I haven't had any restart issues (for example my current uptime is 2 days and 6 hours). Just once my phone froze and I had to force restart it, but I think it was due to the Home Beta I'm using.

Perhaps you have an Xposed module that doesn't play nice with .238?
[Xperia Z3 General] xfire:
No, nothing Xposed, but I also use the Home Beta probably it depends on it. Thank you
[Xperia Z3 General] juanpirulo:
No the home shouldnt be a problem, probably if you try diferentes roms, you ve got any aplication that is not working well and produce that reboots. I ve got no issues at all with my rom. The one of the problems for this reboots was the smartcleaner, but i removed from my rom. Cheers

The N Preview is more a hardware check, if it fits on our devices. Maybe we get 7.0 by next year or its over, but i think we get it, so why they test, for nothing? I dont think so.

[Xperia Z3 General] lacxp:
Did you disable charging optimization? (it's enabled by default)
[Xperia Z3 General] robogo1982:
I'll try it, but I don't really see how the charging optimization has anything to do with the battery discharging...
[Xperia Z3 General] lacxp:
Your phone won't charge all the way up to 100%, so by disable it could give some extra juice. So try it first. Than run SD maid cleaner, also wipe dalvik cache & cache. Look for apps which use your position system. Update your apps... Let me know if it helps ;)
[Xperia Z3 General] robogo1982:
Alright, I'll try it out. No need for a cleaner of any type, I'm running a tight ship here :) the same goes for GPS, only a few apps have GPS and location permissions.

I'll report back in a couple of days.

You could share?
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
Don't have it.

I do recommend getting (if you did not try it already I mean) the latest Concept .3657 since it's the latest (October 2016 kernel) and last ever Sony ROM for Z3, as it's really stable and I find battery live to be better than MM .575/291 anyway, not as LL but ok.
[Xperia Z3 General] NewBieSS:
I tried to:

- Back to old Xperia z3 filmware (23.4.A.0.546).

- Check the OTA update and receive new FW 23.4.A.0.232.

- Download the new firmware.

- Yes, when download finished, I saw the update_packaged.bin in /recovery folder.

- I try to replace Marshmallow update_packaged.bin with this one.

- Back to Update center and UPDATE.

- The phone reboot and switching to OTA update progress. But no luck. Failed to update. :)

You can create it with having temporary root with KingRoot App but Still it will not install the OTA :|
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
/data/media/0/recovery you don't need root to create it is just recovery directory on internal storage for which /data/media/0 is link to /storage/sdcard0 which itself is just link to /storage/emulated/legacy...

I am just curious about what will happen, when I will install pure Spanish stock firmware and copy the file into sdcard/recovery folder.... i guess that nothing... System Update app will have somewhere database with checked/vs. available updates. And becuase it will not know this "foreign" update, nothing will happen. I think that Beta app + registration is inevitably necessary to trigger OTA to succeed.

But no way :crying:
[Xperia Z3 General] Gustavo RD78:
try this:

https://dl.twrp.me/z3c/

and try to get into recovery this way:

TWRP is now on the recovery partition, there is no button combo to enter it. You need to

a) Power off the phone and plug into pc or charger holding volume up, or

b) Use an app from playstore that has a reboot to recovery function.

Concept has a new menu when the phone is in fastboot mode, here it looks like the old system partition

b) those apps need root permission...
[Xperia Z3 General] Gustavo RD78:
if none of this works, the only way would be to install custom kernel with recovery

and backup the rom (we could not kernel up to date)

after, flash kernel stock ancient concept, which would force receive an OTA update

Edit: another attempt would be to test reboot in recovery via adb
